Chapter 655: Wishful Thinking

No one expected the Dugu Family’s fearsome Gong Yu to be so easy-going in front of Yu Shijin. It seemed like he was still very fearful of Yu Shijin.

The surroundings were very quiet… as if someone had pressed a pause button.

Xiao Ba gaped at Su Huiqing in shock.

He had originally thought that, since Su Huiqing had been exiled by that Young Master Gong, it would be very difficult for her to climb up in the future.

Unexpectedly, things seemed to have changed again.

Yu Shijin had already heard their conversation.

He had never cared about fame and fortune. Otherwise, those two wouldn’t be jumping around in the Yu Family.

However, it also depended on the person. He had heard almost everything that the Dugu Family said just now. Other than that little guard, almost no one wanted to leave with her. The elders only gave her a piece of desolate land.

To anyone, this was a very aggrieved matter.

However, she looked at him with a smile.

Yu Shijin pursed his lips.

He slowly placed the map back into Su Huiqing’s hands.

“Master Yu.” The first elder didn’t want Su Huiqing to go to the wilderness in the north overseas. Now that he saw Yu Shijin like this, he panicked. “I never planned to give this place to Miss Su. I prepared a better place. It’s that island five kilometers away…”

Unexpectedly, before the first elder could speak, Yu Yan—who was following behind him—spoke up in a fiery temper. “Alright, First Elder Dugu, your map of the wilderness is already in Miss Su’s hands. What are you still trying to explain?! Tch, I’ve long heard that your Dugu Family is protective and has a bad temper. Now, it looks like it’s indeed true. Miss Su is an ‘outsider’. You guys naturally have to target her! This wasteland… only you guys can take action! You didn’t even bring a guard with her. Why, do you really think there’s no one behind Miss Su?!”

Yu Han also walked to Su Huiqing’s side. When he saw the map in Yu Shijin’s hand, his face turned red.

Damn!

Their Miss Su was so impressive. Didn’t they see General Yuan and the rest giving her gifts time and time again? This depended on Miss Su’s mood. It was fine if the Dugu Family had eyes but didn’t recognize a gem; however, they just had to give her a deserted island. What was going on?

Now, the bloodline of the direct descendants overseas was getting weaker with each generation. Which family wouldn’t provide for such a genius?

The Dugu Family was so great!

How could Yu Han and the rest not be angry?!

The first elder’s face turned slightly red. Although he didn’t willingly do this and had given Su Huiqing a choice and Su Huiqing chose the wasteland in the end—as the first elder, it was indeed wrong for him to be threatened by outsiders.

Thus, he lowered his head in shame and didn’t object.

The first elder and Gong Yu didn’t want to argue further, mainly because Yu Shijin’s aura was getting colder.

Both sides wanted to keep the peace.

Yu Shijin casually looked at the first elder and Gong Yu. “First Elder Dugu, I originally agreed with Uncle Dugu to give half of the south to your Dugu Family. Right now, I think it’s better to cooperate with the Murong Family. As for Gong Yu, you shouldn’t be here, right?”

Gong Yu raised his head and looked at Yu Shijin with his pitch-black eyes. “You…”

“You?” Yu Shijin turned his head good-naturedly, but his eyes turned cold. “You want to fight me? Perfect, I can’t wait.”
